Most of public rest rooms are equipped with touch free
electronic faucets, automatic faucets- in airports, in hospitals and clinics, in big malls, in
restaurants. In most of public bathrooms you will see automatic faucets. It is made for convenience but more for hygiene of a big flow of
people. I am sure that whenever you see a touch free automatic faucet you marvel on it and think, that it would be nice to have an automatic faucet like this in your bathroom at home.

The truth is, touch free electronic faucet can be used in a residential bathroom as well and more and more homes install this type of equipment.

It has automatic temperature and flow
control.

It saves money and water, as it reduces unnecessary water waste during hand
washing. Especially it is a money saver with those who forgets to close the water flow.

Residential automatic bathroom faucets don't seem so popular as commercial automatic touch free faucets used in public bathrooms. It is very strange thinking about all the advantages automatic bathroom faucets may bring into residential use.

Still, there is a variety of brands that suggest touchless electronic faucets for residential bathrooms. Some very famous
brands turned their attention to manufacturing automatic bathroom sink faucets
for residential bathrooms because they see a potential in this.

Grohe bathroom sink automatic faucets and
Kohler bathroom sink touch free electronic faucets might be pricy, but they
have very sophisticated design. MAC
Automatic Touchless Faucets are much
cheaper but look no less sophisticated.

Solving the problem the easy way.

We had to install a touch free electronic bathroom sink faucet for my mother's bathroom some time ago.

In our personal case an automatic faucet saves lots of water and thus, it saves lots of money, as my 82 year old mother used to leave water in her bathroom sink running (she was just forgetting to close the faucet) and water was running and running for hours. It made us to install a touch less faucet in her bathroom.

People sometimes paraphrase an Arab proverb and say, "If Mohammed won't come to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed", meaning that if something cannot or will not happen the easy way, then sometimes it must be done the hard way.

In the case with my mother, we had it the classic way: "if the mountain won't come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain", since it was much easier to solve the problem by installing an automatic bathroom sink faucet, than arguing with Mom about her forgetfulness.

If you have little kids in the house, then installing a touch less faucet would be a good idea too.

Kids don’t really like to wash their hands. Does it sound familiar to you? You have to remind the kids many times that they should wash their hands. Not with touch free faucet in their bathroom. You won’t have to remind them to wash their hands after they use the bath room. They will run to their bathroom sink to use their automatic touch free faucet. Their friends will do the same.

Automatic bathroom faucet is so convenient that it will even encourage family members to wash their hands more often. In the nearest future many home owners will be installing electronic touch free faucets in residential bathrooms .

You will find a nice variety of suggestions to consider. Please, take a close look at all automatic facets below.

would think that because of their advanced technology these faucets are tricky
to install. In fact, they are as easy to install as standard, non-automated
faucets. All hardware is provided with each kit, along with detailed
instructions and diagrams. These faucets can be powered by an AC outlet or batteries, ensuring flexible
installation almost anywhere. Water flow rate is governed by an aerator and
water pressure. Water temperature is governed by water temperature in the

The module design makes installation very easy.

Carol, thank you for dropping by. I just love this automatic touch less faucet in my mom's bathroom. What's funny, when in the kitchen, sometimes my mother puts her hands under the kitchen faucet and waits for water to come automatically. Then she laughs at herself. You get used to something convenient so fast.

Great idea! And frankly, I hadn't thought of it - but it's a great idea! I may just consider installing touchless faucets in our home!

stricktlydating, these faucets are just finding their way to residential homes. Some manufactures consider that people are not ready yet to buy them for their homes because of the bulky design of these faucets.

Lily Rose, you can find quite affordable touch free faucets in the market. My item from MAC cost around $170 with all additions (adaptor, plate). Not saying about how it saves water for us now!
